This Hella bulb uses the SV8.5-8 socket type.
The package contains 10 Hella Number Plate Light Bulbs.
This bulb is listed as compatible with specific Audi A3 (8L1) models between 2000-2003. It is essential to check your vehicle's exact specifications and bulb measurements before purchasing, as variations exist.
'ECE approved' signifies that the bulb meets the technical regulations and standards set by the Economic Commission for Europe, ensuring it is road-legal and safe for use in participating countries.
This bulb is specifically designed as a license plate light. While it has a standard voltage and wattage, its dimensions and light output characteristics are optimized for exterior license plate illumination. It is best used as intended.
Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for detailed specifications. You can also consult a professional mechanic or compare the physical dimensions and socket type of your existing bulb with the product's specifications.
The rated power for this bulb is 5 Watts (W) at 12 Volts (V).
Ensure the bulb is fully seated in the socket. Check the vehicle's fuse for the license plate light circuit. Verify the bulb's voltage (12V) matches your vehicle's system. If problems persist, try another new bulb from the pack to rule out a faulty unit.
Check for corrosion or debris in the bulb socket and on the bulb's contacts. Ensure the bulb is properly secured. Inspect the wiring harness leading to the socket for any damage.
Ensure the lens cover for the license plate light is clean and free of dirt or condensation. Verify the correct wattage bulb (5W) is installed; a lower wattage bulb would result in dimmer light.
Compatibility Verification: Before purchasing, it is crucial to verify fitment for your specific vehicle. Check the "Vehicle Compatibility" list against your car's model, year, and engine specifications. IMPORTANT: Always cross-reference the bulb's dimensions and socket type (SV8.5-8) with your vehicle's existing license plate light assembly, as variations can exist even within the same model year.
Installation: Installation typically involves accessing the license plate light housing from the exterior of your vehicle. This may require removing a small cover or lens. Carefully remove the old bulb by gently pulling it out of its socket. Insert the new Hella bulb firmly into the SV8.5-8 socket. Ensure it is seated correctly. Reattach any covers or lenses.
Care: These bulbs are designed for long-term use under normal driving conditions. No specific ongoing care is required beyond ensuring the external lens remains clean to allow maximum light output. If the bulbs fail prematurely, re-check the installation and vehicle's electrical system.
